I know the offending line is;

startButton.setBackgroundResource(Color.GREEN);

but I done know why. Here is a snippet of the code (basically just changing the colour of the button). If I dont put in that line above it all works fine;


protected

void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); ​

LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL); ​

TextView syTxt= new TextView(layout.getContext());
TextView hoursTxt= new TextView(layout.getContext());
TextView symbolTxt= new TextView(layout.getContext()); ​

layout.addView(syTxt);
layout.addView(hoursTxt);
layout.addView(symbolTxt);
​

startButton = new Button(this);
startButton.setText("Start");​

startButton.setBackgroundResource(Color.GREEN);
setContentView(layout);

}

Please close this thread. Noob mistake;

I meant to use;

setBackgroundColor() and not setBackgroundResource
